Meninger faces a single charge of receiving stolen property. The others were charged with one felony count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity in addition to multiple other charges including receiving stolen property and theft.

The group is accused of stealing trucks, tractors, trailers and construction and lawn maintenance equipment in Delaware, Franklin, Licking, Knox, Fairfield, Marion and Huron counties. The stolen equipment was then sold on the Internet, according to Delaware County Prosecutor Carol O'Brien.

Investigators from the State Highway Patrol, Delaware County sheriff's office and the Columbus police tracked the group for several years, gathering evidence that resulted in the indictments that were made public today, O'Brien said in a news release.
